Donald E. Davis Arboretum
This green space, plant museum, and garden is located just outside downtown Auburn. It offers a pleasant setting for a morning walk during the spring season.
Kreher Preserve & Nature Center
One of our favorite places to walk in Auburn, this nature preserve is located on the north side of town, just past the University fisheries. The area is great for kids, featuring a learning center and a play area. The trails take you through a variety of landscapes and terrains, including creeks and ponds. If you're an avid birder, this is one of the best places in Auburn to spot rare species during migration seasons.
